Legalización de documentos
La legalización de los documentos extranjeros es imprescindible para que surtan efecto en España. Por lo que, salvo que exista convenio, tratado o acuerdo internacional que exima de su legalización, la misma se hará conforme a uno de los dos procedimientos siguientes dependiendo del país que expida el documento:
- Si el país es firmante del Convenio de la Haya, la Apostilla será suficiente.
- Si el país no es firmante del Convenio de la Haya, la vía de legalización será diferente en cada caso.
